Stainless Steel Banding and Supplies
If you are looking for a strapping solution with high level of versatility, strength, shock-resistance and durability, stainless steel strapping is the perfect solution. It can also be joined using a wide range of seals, making it the perfect strapping for a wide range of applications. Even the method of application can be customized based on the specific needs. It SS strapping has higher resistance to wear and tear and is perfectly suited for applications where high tensioning force needs to be applied.
Applications of Stainless Steel Strapping
Available in a wide range of strapping dimensions, SS straps are increasingly used in the following industries:
- Civil engineering
- Petroleum
- Telecom
- Heavy industries
It is also finding applications in the non-commercial sector where extremely high strength and durability are required.
Advantages
Some of the main advantages of using stainless steel strapping are as following:
- High resistance to heat, moisture, chemicals, UV rays, extreme cold temperatures, and salts
- Extremely high and almost unmatched break-strength
- High corrosion resistance
- Extremely high strength and durability
SS strapping is available is made of stainless steel of different grade. Some of the most commonly used grades are as following:
317 Series Stainless Steel Strapping
The SS strapping made of 317 series alloy has the following elements:
- Low carbon
- More molybdenum
- More nickel
- More chromium
This unique combination helps in improving corrosion resistance thus preventing harsh acidic chemicals from attacking the strapping. its main features include the following:
- Extremely high corrosion resistance even in the harshest environments, especially in the presence of acidic chloride compounds
- The 317 series is perfectly suited for applications where contamination cannot be allowed
- High resistance to inter-granular corrosion
- High resistance to oxidation
301 series Stainless Steel Strapping
The main advantages of using 301 series of SS strapping are as following:
- High resistance to mildly corrosive environments
- Perfect for use in mild chemical, marine, industrial and outdoor environments
- This stainless steel strapping can withstand extremely high temperatures of up to 1,450°F without scaling
201 Series Stainless Steel Strapping
The 201 series SS strapping has low-nickel and can also be used for replacing 301 grade strapping. It gets a boost in toughness and yield strength because of higher nitrogen levels.
Types of Seals for Stainless Steel Strapping
There are a wide range of stainless steel seals that can be used with this strapping, including:
- Snap-on Seals: This type of stainless steel seal helps speed up the operation and eliminates threading. It is the most widely used seal type for SS strapping.
- Thread-on Seals: It is mostly used for larger strapping dimensions and is threaded before applying tension.
- Push-on Seals: This type of seals are used where the tensioner’s nose is used to push against the seal. It can withstand higher tensioning force.
- Magazine Seals: In this case, the stainless steel seals are stacked together and it is used with combination tools and power strapping tools.
